Dear Members,

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

Him being fast is just the half of it, him being able to foresee and/or envisage the jutsu is the other..

Oh, I don't doubt Kakashi could do it, if he positioned himself correctly, thus anticipating an area around him, where the lightning could possibly strike, thus being able to envision the location, where the lightning would strike. If you give some sort of object being dielectric or conducting, a surface charge opposite of that of the lightning, it would be rather easy.

A lightning is some sort of massive discharge of energy, which was accumulated from warm and cold weather mixing. So all you need is some kind of object, which seeks to recharge itself. Say some sort of huge capacitor (with an antenna of course), and you could probably create a larger chance for lightning to strike nearby this location. Thus staying near it, creating a possibility to severe the lightning.

This does not change my own personal belief, when Kishi write things like this, being it in his databook or the manga. After reading much of Naruto, I do believe I have a good interpretation of Kishi's way of writing. Thus in my understanding, Kakashi never directly severed a lightning. He simply would have no purpose for doing so, however, he somewhat proved that it would be within his capability, and probably about his max capability.
But of course you can understand it more literally than me, it does not matter to me, neither interpretations are wrong or right.

Re: (DrProof) Raikiri's Extirpating Aptitude

Well we don't know the shape and the size of the lightning that Kakashi cut with raikiri.Since kirin shaping is easily manipulated the variable of size may change the outcome.
Also kirin is a technique that requires thunder clouds to be demonstrated, most of the times Sasuke will have to make climatic preparations like the first time he used that technique.That is easy to be read by sharingan and by Kakashi as well.
So dodging kirin is possible since sharingan can easily read the moves.
Cutting it may be plausible,depending on the shape and the size of kirin.

I indeed see what you're saying, but why would Kishimoto canonically release said comments about the technique, if they weren't true? Hype? Why hype a simply S-rank technique? Thus, I can promptly conclude that it is true.

If you have absolute proof that Kakashi did it, as in a panel of him doing it or exact confirmation, please post it.

As I stated above to NinjaKid (read that RikerSlade) .. I have also a bit more food for thought, how can you deem that Kakashi didn't extirpate lightning? Kishimoto hinted on it with several statements, while as he never diminished the said technique to not have extirpate lightning itself has he? Like you incompetently stated for me to show you proof of said statement, I want you to follow your own advice.

I do indeed see what you're getting at Rikerslade however Kirin is STILL a lightning bolt rather you deny such evidential notices or not. You say due to size, I concur this statement; Lightning Transmission[1] as seen here, can defy your testament as to how big Kirin resides.

Dude, no.

First off, how does Lightning Transmission disprove my statement on Kirin's size? It was already shown that Kirin is enormous in size. Kirin against Raikiri is like a cannon against a gun.

Secondly, Kirin is not a normal lightning bolt. It is cleary larger and stronger.

Re: (DrProof) Raikiri's Extirpating Aptitude

Did I miss something when I didn't log on? Who is Dr.Proof? He seems to think a lot of himself, and by the looks of it takes quite a bit of time looking up ways to look more pretentious (or in his mind "smart") The smart bit doesn't fool anyone if you wanted to know, but you're doing a sublime job on the looking pretentious front

I agree that if Kakashi (I guess we use him as an example) had info / worked out what (take) Sasuke was doing with his hand gestures to bring down Kirin, then it's possible Raikiri could cut it. Anyone who says Raikiri couldn't is basing their judgement from sheer speculation rather than what we already know, that being that Raikiri can cut lightning, and Kirin is a form of (a lot stronger, but still a form of) lightning.

I see you still haven't posted proof.
And just cuz one character says something, that doesn't mean it's true. It's just a metaphor meant to bring praise to Raikiri's power.

Following your logic, Kisame is really a Bijuu without a tail.
Minato isn't a human being, but a yellow colored flash.
Gai and Lee aren't humans, but beasts.

After all, Kishi canonically confirmed those, just like how he canonically said Raikiri has cut a lightning bolt...

If it is I agree

You sir, have foretold my whole thread, into this short context. I applaud you.

As for the original post, I say to you: It is quite possible that Kakashi could sever said lightning bolt, and foresee its coming. Although I can't get over the distance factor. Let us assume that most battles between shinobi of this level, S Jounin and upwards, are fought from anywhere between inches apart from each other and let's say thirty yards or so. Sound reasonable? I'll assume yes. As you've stated lightning travels at varrying speeds, depending on air conditions and all, but I'll take your word for it at 3,700 miles per second. That is astonishingly quick, and I doubt Kakashi in any way can move that quickly. So even if he were to e inches away from it and even with precognitive vision, I doubt he could do it. I say unless the lightning is on a direct course towards him, he shan't hit sever the aforementioned lightning.
I so however give you mass amounts of praise for this thread, and do look foreword to hearing more from you.

Hence why this could be a highly-likely factor.

Resolve

Kirin/Lightning can be extirpated by Raikiri by said means:

The given visual prowess of the Sharingan, allows the user capable of envisaging movements; Kirin's wielders hand gestures would be read by Sharingan enabling a counter..

The given visual prowess of the Sharingan, allows the user capable of foreseeing future movements; Kirin's wielders gestures would be predicted, enabling a counter..

Re: (DrProof) Raikiri's Extirpating Aptitude

Seems like the sheer power of Kirin (clearly much more powerful than a regular lightning bolt) would be more than enough to render a raikiri useless. It seems a bit like using a doton wall to stop Madara's meteor. And i know this isnt a versus thread but aiming the lightning bolt even a few feet from the target would still have the desired effect. I doubt Kakashi would be able to react in time.

You significantly define me as pretentious yet, you yourself have stated to not know me at all.. Why do you mock yourself at such levels of indecency?

OT: I'm excoriated that you agree with my theory, just don't insult a random bystander when you know nothing of them it will get you places.

I have read the entirety of your exquisite thread, though I do not agree with its content. Also, your pretentious demeanor is becoming increasingly pitiful, for it gives me reason to think you are making up for a drastic loss. I do not mean to sound disrespectful... but have you lost your testicles?

Re: (DrProof) Raikiri's Extirpating Aptitude

Well, I think the issue here is more centered on whether or not Kakashi can actually physically react to Kirin as opposed to his ability to predict/foresee its use. Raikiri has the necessary hype, but crucially, we haven't seen it in action, so it'll be hard to properly analyze how effective it would be in slicing Kirin, which seems to be a level above your typical lightning bolt (with regards to size/thickness [1]). It remains to be seen whether Kakashi can move his arm through a Jutsu which hits the ground in around a thousandth of a second.

[indent]You significantly define me as pretentious yet, you yourself have stated to not know me at all.. Why do you mock yourself at such levels of indecency?

I don't know you, but what significance is that to me calling you pretentious?

Unless you didn't know, Pretentious; Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed. Now tell me where me calling you pretentious makes me pretentious, I didn't by making that observation try to make myself appear better than I am.

Granted it's not quite the same scale, but Kakashi is smart enough to put more chakra into the Raikiri to buff it up.

I understand your reasoning, however this is hypothetically. Kakashi, and his said opponent do not initially need to be in close ranges of each other. Also, evaluate more on your theory, as to why Kirin would render Raikiri useless?

I have indeed not lost my testicles -Odin- it is rather weird that you ask such a sexual question, as I know you to stay on topic most of the time am I wrong however? Was that all just a mask concealing the real you?
